Re: Things that confuse you.

New word meanings, taken from words I've known and used all my life. Suddenly they have a totally new meaning, and what I have been saying is no longer correct. Also I'm usually the last to know.

Re: Things that confuse you.

Anything that involves getting a ticket or paying by phone for parking etc.
Why my phone or laptop can't remember my password for OFF, it shows little stars but then tells me it's invalid even though it used to.
Why there are now ads that slide down from the top of my phone screen which get in the way and make me press them instead of what I think I'm pressing.
Why I've broken three extension leads since Xmas, plugging in my washer and dryer, they used to be ok?!!!
Why do I have to be at hospital at 7.30am?

Confused of Somerset

LOL LD Bosie is what I say to the dog when I want him to go to his bed. I tell him "time for Bosie" and he hops right in.
But I would spell it with a Z as that's the way I pronounce it.
